Yeah Shipyard uses Ringwood in all their beers I think not just the Old Thumper.  You can tell as they all have that same underlying flavor.  Also Gritty's in Portland, Maine uses it (I'm not so sure that Shipyard doesn't brew some of their beers anyway) and the Woodstock Inn and Brewery in New Hampshire.  Other than that I don't think.  Other than that Ringwood hasn't had much of an impact on microbrewing here in New England which is booming right now.  But Shipyard and Gritty's were two of the very early ones.

BTW on that note of New England brewing, the first Trappist brewery in the United States just opened here in Massachusetts:
